[A case of advanced gastric cancer with multiple bone metastasis successfully treated by both methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil sequential therapy, and endoscopic intratumoral injection of 5-fluorouracil].
We reported a case of advanced gastric cancer with multiple bone metastasis successfully treated by both methotrexate (MTX) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) sequential therapy, and endoscopic intratumoral injection of 5-fluorouracil. A 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of appetite loss and bone pain. He could not walk by himself for the bone pain. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a lesion like II c + III in the greater curvature of the angulus. By both MTX /5-FU sequential therapy and endoscopic intratumoral injection of 5-FU, partial response (PR) was obtained against gastric primary lesion, and his performance status was improved. PR was maintained for 5 months. Severe side effects of the chemotherapy were not observed.
